Many years ago, people often said A woman’s place is in the home.” But Americans do not feel that
way any more. Today, women make up about 43 per cent of the America labor force. There are
about 45 million working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married
women with children. In 1980, for the first time in the nation’s history there were more working
wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid
change. In 1940, only 15 per cent of married women held jobs.
Today, most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do they
work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that
women today are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions
than women had earlier.
